Euphorbia Anoplia Sunlight Requirements

Light most succulents, Euphorbia Anoplia, appreciates lots of light. Direct sunlight may burn the greenery, so select a spot with bright, indirect light. Increased light levels encourage growth and keep the plant lush and vibrant.

Euphorbia Anoplia Care

Small purple flowers bloom in spring and summer on the flat edges when the stems come together. Euphorbia Anoplia only blooms if it receives plenty of sunlight. Plants grown in low light may not set flower buds. Help your zipper plant bloom by using a grow light to provide extra brightness during the spring.

Watering Euphorbia Anoplia

Feeding Euphorbia Anoplia

Fertilize Euphorbia Anoplia monthly during the spring and early summer when the plant is actively growing. Use water-soluble plant food that can be applied during a typical watering session. Balanced fertilizer supports new growth, or use a plant food high in phosphorous to encourage blooms.
